not much to it and probably not useful to most people but i just wanted to play around with jquery.

basically like zem_article_info, except this plugin provides live word count update as you type, permalink, and displays the current article id. (link and id don’t show up until you actually save the article of course)

Nice. The info this plugin provides is on the scale of other interface option on the write page not very important, so would it be better placed at the foot of the page under last modified. Otherwise, imo, it tends to clutter the page.

instead of using <div style=\"display:inline;\" id=\"lam-word-excerpt\"></div> you can use <span id=\"lam-word-excerpt\"></span> – no need to define block as inline element if there is institutional inline element span

Thinking more…
